Defense Secretary Leon Panetta announced hat the Pentagon would lift its ban on women serving in front-line combat roles. The new policy, backed by President Obama, could open 230,000 positions to women and give them more opportunities to advance their military careers. The Defense Department will set gender-neutral performance standards for those positions in a process will take several years to carry out. Critics say women aren’t as capable as men in combat roles, and will undermine military cohesion. Supporters of the policy shift say there’s no good reason to deny women who want to serve in combat the opportunity if they can meet the same standards as men. Will this policy change make the U.S. military stronger? Or is it the latest example of political correctness? Do you trust the Pentagon to uphold the standards for combat duty? Talk about it!
